Do you think that the rabies virus exstsed is the time of the dinosaurs?

Curiosity, what animal back the got rabies? could dinosaurs get it? how old is this virus? did it exist in prehistoric times. does anyone know?

i have always been curious about old time periods and what diseases existed in those times. are there even diseases that went extinct before humans came along? it is interesting to think about, isn't it.

    i would guess that certain diseases were around back then. may be even a worse form of rabies that effected dinosaurs. with their size, it would take a serious one to effect that enough to kill them. so rabies would have had to be exstremly powerful at that time.

    as for diseases that have gone exstincts. i would guess that it may have been. as i said, it would have to be a pretty bad one to harm the larger donisaurs enough to cause death. who knows. maybe i should do some research on that. would be worth a look.

    good luck
